1 year ago

Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is a long-term skin disease that occurs when hair follicles are clogged with dead skin cells and oil from the skin. It is characterized by blackheads or whiteheads, pimples, oily skin, and possible scarring. It primarily affects areas of the skin with a relatively high number of oil glands, including the face, upper part of the chest, and back. The resulting appearance can lead to anxiety, reduced self-esteem and, in extreme cases, depression or thoughts of suicide. Now let us learn about acne, symptoms, causes, diagnosis, stem cell therapy, and also learn free Siddha energy remedies to become self-reliant in managing acne.

Genetics is thought to be the primary cause of acne in 80% of cases. The role of diet and cigarette smoking is unclear, and neither cleanliness nor exposure to sunlight appears to play a part. In both sexes, hormones called androgens appear to be part of the underlying mechanism, by causing increased production of sebum. Another frequent factor is excessive growth of the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes, which is normally present on the skin.

Are pimples popping up on your forehead? Unhealthy eating and stress are probable offenders. In face mapping, your forehead is linked to your digestive and nervous systems, making it susceptible to diet- and stress-related breakouts.

Known as “pomade acne,” breakouts along the hairline are often due to beauty product buildup. The oils and chemicals in shampoo and makeup residue can accumulate on the skin’s surface, sinking into and clogging pores.

If spots are showing up on your cheeks, your cell phone and pillowcase may be to blame. Your phone accumulates plenty of bad-for-your-skin bacteria during the day, and wiping it down is a must – even if it looks clean.

According to face mapping, hormones could be the cause of blemishes along your chin and jawline. Hormonal acne is caused by an excess of hormones due to menstruation, pregnancy and increased androgen levels. These fluctuations result in inflammation, excessive oil production, clogged skin cells, and bacteria production. While it tends to appear in the T-zone during puberty, hormonal acne typically forms along the chin and jawline in adults.

Acne Classification

The severity of acne vulgaris can be classified as:

Mild

Moderate

Severe

Mild acne is classically defined by the presence of clogged skin follicles (known as comedones) limited to the face with occasional inflammatory lesions.

Moderate severity acne is said to occur when a higher number of inflammatory papules and pustules occur on the face compared to mild cases of acne and are found on the trunk of the body.

Severe acne is said to occur when nodules (the painful ‘bumps’ lying under the skin) are the characteristic facial lesions and involvement of the trunk is extensive.

Acne Classification

Acne symptoms

Typical features of acne include:

Increased secretion of oily sebum by the skin

Microcomedones

Comedones

Papules

Nodules (large papules)

Pustules

Scarring

The appearance of acne varies with skin color. It may result in psychological and social problems.

Scars

Acne scars are caused by inflammation within the dermal layer of skin and are estimated to affect 95% of people with acne vulgaris. The scar is created by abnormal healing following this dermal inflammation.

Atrophic acne scars have lost collagen from the healing response and are the most common type of acne scar (account for approximately 75% of all acne scars). They may be further classified as:

Ice-pick scars

Boxcar scars, and

Rolling scars

Hypertrophic scars are uncommon and are characterized by increased collagen content after the abnormal healing response. They are described as firm and raised from the skin.

Pigmentation

Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is usually the result of nodular acne lesions. These lesions often leave behind an inflamed darkened mark after the original acne lesion has resolved. This inflammation stimulates specialized pigment-producing skin cells (known as melanocytes) to produce more melanin pigment which leads to the skin’s darkened appearance.

People with darker skin color are more frequently affected by this condition. The pigmented scar is a common term used for PIH but is misleading as it suggests the color change is permanent.

Acne Symptoms

Acne Causes

Risk factors for the development of acne, other than genetics, have not been conclusively identified. Possible secondary contributors include:

Hormones

Infections

Diet, and

Stress

Studies investigating the impact of smoking on the incidence and severity of acne have been inconclusive. Sunlight and cleanliness are not associated with acne.

Genes

The predisposition to acne for specific individuals is likely explained by a genetic component, a theory which is supported by studies examining the rates of acne among twins and first-degree relatives. Severe acne may be associated with XYY syndrome.

Hormones

Hormonal activity, such as occurs during menstrual cycles and puberty, may contribute to the formation of acne. During puberty, an increase in sex hormones called androgens causes the skin follicle glands to grow larger and make more oily sebum.

Medical conditions that commonly cause a high-androgen state, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and androgen-secreting tumors, can cause acne in affected individuals. Conversely, people who lack androgenic hormones or are insensitive to the effects of androgens rarely have acne.

Infections

It is widely suspected that the anaerobic bacterial species Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) contributes to the development of acne, but its exact role is not well understood.

There are specific sub-strains of P. acnes associated with normal skin and moderate or severe inflammatory acne. It is unclear whether these undesirable strains evolve on-site or are acquired, or possibly both depending on the person.

Diet

The relationship between diet and acne is unclear, as there is no high-quality evidence that establishes any definitive link between them.

High-glycemic-load diets have been found to have different degrees of effect on acne severity. Multiple randomized controlled trials and nonrandomized studies have found a lower-glycemic-load diet to be effective in reducing acne.

There is weak observational evidence suggesting that dairy milk consumption is positively associated with a higher frequency and severity of acne. Milk contains whey protein and hormones such as bovine IGF-1 and precursors of dihydrotestosterone.

Available evidence does not support a link between eating chocolate or salt and acne severity. Chocolate does contain varying amounts of sugar, which can lead to a high glycemic load, and it can be made with or without milk.

Few studies have examined the relationship between obesity and acne.

Eating greasy foods do not increase acne nor make it worse. One review linked a Western pattern diet, high in simple carbohydrates, milk and dairy products, and trans fats and saturated fats, along with low omega-3 fatty acids, with acne.

Stress

Few high-quality studies have been performed which demonstrate that stress causes or worsens acne. While the connection between acne and stress has been debated, some research indicates that increased severity is associated with high-stress levels in certain contexts such as hormonal changes seen in premenstrual syndrome.

Environmental factors

Mechanical obstruction of skin follicles with helmets or chinstraps can worsen pre-existing acne.

Medications

Diagnosis

Comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) must be present to diagnose acne. In their absence, an appearance similar to that of acne would suggest a different skin disorder. Microcomedones (the precursor to blackheads and whiteheads) are not visible to the naked eye when inspecting the skin and can only be seen with a microscope.

There are many features that may indicate a person’s acne vulgaris is sensitive to hormonal influences. Historical and physical clues that may suggest hormone-sensitive acne include onset between ages 20 and 30; worsening the week before a woman’s menstrual cycle; acne lesions predominantly over the jawline and chin; and inflammatory/nodular acne lesions.

Differential diagnosis

Many skin conditions can mimic acne vulgaris, and these are collectively known as acneiform eruptions. Such conditions include:

Angiofibroma

Epidermal Cysts

Flat warts

Folliculitis

Keratosis pilaris

Milia

Perioral dermatitis

Rosacea

Age is one factor which may help distinguish between these disorders. Skin disorders such as perioral dermatitis and keratosis pilaris can appear similar to acne but tend to occur more frequently in childhood, whereas rosacea tends to occur more frequently in older adults.

Acne Diagnosis

Management

Many different treatments exist for acne. These include:

Alpha hydroxy acid

Anti-androgen medications

Antibiotics

Antiseborrheic medications

Azelaic acid

Benzoyl peroxide

Hormonal treatments

Keratolytic soaps

Nicotinamide

Retinoids

Salicylic acid

They are believed to work in at least four different ways, including the following:

Reducing inflammation

Hormonal manipulation

Killing P. acnes, and

Normalizing skin cell shedding and sebum production in the pore to prevent blockage

Recommended therapies for first-line use in acne vulgaris treatment include:

Topical retinoids

Benzoyl peroxide, and

Topical or oral antibiotics

Procedures such as light therapy and laser therapy are not considered to be first-line treatments and typically have an adjunctive role due to their high cost and limited evidence of efficacy.

Medications work by targeting the early stages of comedo formation and are generally ineffective for visible skin lesions; improvement in the appearance is typically expected between six and eight weeks after starting therapy.

Diet

A diet low in simple sugars is recommended as a method of improving acne. As of 2014, the evidence is insufficient to recommend milk restriction for this purpose.

Medications

Benzoyl peroxide

Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) is the first-line treatment for mild and moderate acne due to its effectiveness and mild side-effects (mainly skin irritation).

Side effects include increased skin photosensitivity, dryness, redness, and occasional peeling. Sunscreen use is often advised during treatment, to prevent sunburn.

Retinoids

Retinoids are medications which reduce inflammation, normalize the follicle cell life cycle, and reduce sebum production. They are structurally related to vitamin

Generally speaking, retinoids increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight and are therefore recommended for use at night.

Tretinoin is the least expensive of the topical retinoids and is the most irritating to the skin, whereas adapalene is the least irritating to the skin but costs significantly more.

Isotretinoin is an oral retinoid that is very effective for severe nodular acne, and moderate acne that is stubborn to other treatments. One to two months of use is typically adequate to see improvement. Acne often resolves completely or is much milder after a 4–6-month course of oral isotretinoin.

Antibiotics

Antibiotics are frequently applied to the skin or taken orally to treat acne and are thought to work due to their antimicrobial activity against P. acnes and their ability to reduce inflammation.

Hormonal agents

In women, acne can be improved with the use of any combined birth control pill. These medications contain an estrogen and a progestin. They work by decreasing the production of androgen hormones by the ovaries and by decreasing the free and hence biologically active fractions of androgens, resulting in lowered skin production of sebum and consequently reduce acne severity.

Although oral estrogens can decrease IGF-1 levels in some situations and this might be expected to additionally contribute to improvement in acne symptoms, combined birth control pills appear to have no effect on IGF-1 levels infertile women.

However, cyproterone acetate-containing birth control pills have been reported to decrease total and free IGF-1 levels.

Combinations containing third- or fourth-generation progestins including desogestrel, dienogest, drospirenone, or norgestimate, as well as birth control pills containing cyproterone acetate or chlormadinone acetate, are preferred for women with acne due to their stronger antiandrogenic effects.

Antiandrogens such as cyproterone acetate and spironolactone have been used successfully to treat acne, especially in women with signs of excessive androgen production such as increased hairiness or skin production of sebum, or baldness.

Spironolactone is an effective treatment for acne in adult women, but unlike combined birth control pills, is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for this purpose.

The medication is primarily used as an aldosterone antagonist and is thought to be a useful acne treatment due to its ability to additionally block the androgen receptor at higher doses. Alone or in combination with a birth control pill, spironolactone has shown a 33 to 85% reduction in acne lesions in women.

The effectiveness of spironolactone for acne appears to be dose-dependent. High-dose cyproterone acetate alone has been found to decrease symptoms of acne in women by 75 to 90% within 3 months.

However, the side effects of cyproterone acetate in males, such as gynecomastia, sexual dysfunction, and decreased bone mineral density, make its use for acne in this sex impractical in most cases.

Hormonal therapies should not be used to treat acne during pregnancy or lactation as they have been associated with birth disorders such as hypospadias, and feminization of the male babies.

In addition, women who are sexually active and who can or may become pregnant should use an effective method of contraception to prevent pregnancy while taking an anti-androgen. Antiandrogens are often combined with birth control pills for this reason, which can result in additive efficacy.

Azelaic acid

Azelaic acid has been shown to be effective for mild to moderate acne when applied topically at a 20% concentration. Treatment twice daily for six months is necessary.

Salicylic acid

Salicylic acid is a topically applied beta-hydroxy acid that stops bacteria from reproducing and has keratolytic properties. It opens obstructed skin pores and promotes shedding of epithelial skin cells. Salicylic acid is known to be less effective than retinoid therapy. Dry skin is the most commonly seen side effect with topical application, though darkening of the skin has been observed in individuals with darker skin types.

Combination therapy

Combination therapy—using medications of different classes together, each with a different mechanism of action—has been demonstrated to be a more efficacious approach to acne treatment than monotherapy.

Pregnancy

Although the late stages of pregnancy are associated with an increase in sebaceous gland activity in the skin, pregnancy has not been reliably associated with worsened acne severity.

In general, topically applied medications are considered the first-line approach to acne treatment during pregnancy, as they have little systemic absorption and are therefore unlikely to harm a developing fetus.

Alternative medicine

Complementary therapies have been investigated for treating people with acne. Low-quality evidence suggests the topical application of tea tree oil or bee venom may reduce the total number of skin lesions in those with acne.

Tea tree oil is thought to be approximately as effective as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid but has been associated with allergic contact dermatitis. Proposed mechanisms for tea tree oil’s anti-acne effects include antibacterial action against P. acnes and anti-inflammatory properties.

Self-care

Many over-the-counter treatments in many forms are available, which are often referred to as cosmeceuticals. Certain types of makeup may be useful to mask acne. In those with oily skin, a water-based product is often preferred.

Acne Self Care

Prognosis

Acne usually improves around the age of 20 but may persist into adulthood. Permanent physical scarring may occur.

There is good evidence to support the idea that acne and associated scarring negatively affect a person’s:

Psychological state

Worsen mood

Lower self-esteem, and are associated with a higher risk of anxiety disorders, depression, and suicidal thoughts

Epidemiology

Globally, acne affects approximately 650 million people, or about 9.4% of the population, as of 2010. It affects nearly 90% of people in Western societies during their teenage years, but can occur before adolescence and may persist into adulthood.

While acne that first develops between the ages of 21 and 25 is uncommon, it affects 54% of women and 40% of men older than 25 years of age and has a lifetime prevalence of 85%.

Other animals

Acne can occur on cats, dogs, and horses.

Stem Cell Therapy: Japanese Dermatologists

Injecting the patients own stem cells, however, seems more promising. Most of the pioneering clinical work for this procedure is taking place in Japan.

Stem cells are harvested not from the fat in the belly or buttocks but from the connective tissue underneath the belly fat. They are incubated in the lab so that they multiply to numbers sufficient to inject underneath the skin. Like stem cells, they would ordinarily travel through the bloodstream to their destination, building connections with surrounding cells to form fatty tissues.

Japanese researchers, however, have developed a method of stabilizing stem cells in a compound called hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is one of the basic building blocks of skin. The immune system will not reject it, and it helps stabilize the skin while the stem cells grow.

The effects of this kind of stem cell treatment are gradual, increasing as the stem cells grow. Japanese doctors are using the technique for treating not just acne scars but also for filling in frown lines and wrinkles and for breast augmentation.

It takes about eight weeks for the stem cells to become fat cells that can support the desired contour of the skin. There is no scarring, inflammation, swelling, or discoloration of the skin during the healing process if the injections are done properly.
